“Rocks”

Father God, let this touch someone’s heart today in Jesus Precious Name Amen.

It reads in 1 Samuel 2:2 “There is no one holy like the Lord; there is no one besides you; there is no Rock like our God.

I like to look at rocks. There are many shapes, colors and forms. They have real beautiful ones that look like rainbows. I know when I would pick up rocks with my children as they were growing up and then my grandchildren. We would look at the rocks form and like their would-be heart rocks or whatever design they had on them and throw them in a bucket.

Rocks hold strength in them. Some rocks were old, old tree branches. Petrified wood is tree, like plants having been replaced by stone via a mineralization process that often includes permineralization and replacement. You know it may have been a game with me and my children and grandchildren. But it gave me a way to tell them about Jesus and the God as strong as a rock. God created all and he can make designs in His rocks.

It reads in Deuteronomy 32:4 He is the Rock, his works are perfect, and all his ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is he.

{Let’s Pray}

Father God, thank You for the many lessons we can learn from just holding a rock and reading in Your word about rocks. Like Jesus’ statement “If any one of you is without sin, let him be the first to throw a stone at her” is found in John 8. Jesus was teaching in the temple when the scribes and Pharisees brought to Him a woman who had been caught in the act of adultery, and they asked Him if she should be stoned as required by the Law of Moses. “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.” So, they dropped their rocks “stones”. I thank You and praise You that You are our Rock of salvation, our firm Anchor, and our gracious Provider. I thank You praise You and glorify Your holy name that You are faithful and just in all Your ways. Pure, true and righteous in all You do. Teach me more about your beautiful character and help me to grow in grace, love You more, and will live by faith and not by sight. I love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen.
